As a matter of fact, it was so quiet that I forgot that I once subscribed to it.
Don't worry; I am about to unsubscribe.

You are fighting for your survival. Although I agree with the most recent analysis that IPv6 will not become an orphan, you have to understand that the IPv4 ecosystem will survive no matter what you do, and that a war will not be in your favor. I do not represent the IPv4 zealots, but I have become one of them by economic necessity.

I'm not trying to run your WG. All that I am saying is that the IPv6 zealots have been a total pain in my backside, and that the FUD they have been spreading for the last 20 years has come out of style.

IPv4 will survive forever. I can not say the same of IPv6. You have to change your tune if you want to survive.

This is what you have to stop. You work for Google. Do you want to bet your career that Google is going to switch to IPv6 only ?
Think carefully. Think about your career. I personally know the big shots at big vendor who bet their careers on IPv6 and have become irrelevant.

You are too young to be a politician who turns their coat in the wind.
I say again : are you willing to bet your career on IPv6 ?
